Custom Administrative Templates

[Matthew Higgins]

Hi,

I am trying to push out a registry value, KB ref:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=kb;KO;258277

....to clients using Group Policy and a Custom Admin
Template.

I've followed the instructions in link below:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;323639

And have come up with the following ADM template:

;**************************************************
CLASS MACHINE

CATEGORY "Custom Settings"

KEYNAME "Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook"

POLICY "Disable PSTs in Outlook XP"

EXPLAIN "This feature disables PSTs and
Autoarchive in Outlook 2002"

PART "Check to enforce setting on; uncheck to
enforce setting off" CHECKBOX
VALUENAME DisablePst
VALUEON NUMERIC 1
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY
;*********************************************************

As I don't want 'Tattooing' to occour, so the above has
been written to the Policies key. The template seems to
work fine, but the reg key value is in the wrong place
for the KB article to work.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Matthew

Unfortunately if Outlook does not recognize the setting in the policy folder
then you have no choice but to place the setting in the default location.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook
Value name: DisablePst
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 1
